Pallet-level roll-out: instant data processing and verification
Reading initiated by motion detector
Tag Data (SSCC) transmitted to
decentralized edge node server via LAN
network
SSCC sent to Central Server; Matched with EDI
data from the Merchandise

100 days of RFID – High reading accuracy in first trials
Hanger goods conveyor:
99%
Portal for incoming and
outgoing goods:
Varying results,up to 99%
Returnable transport items:
> 90%
Stackable goods conveyor:
99%

100 days of RFID – Technical challenges
Installation and Optimi-zation of different setups for various transportation modes depending on product group (i.e. hanger goods conveyor, portal for incoming and outgoing goods)
Integration of different backend systems
Process improvement: matching of motion
detectors and readers reader configuration tag is damaged,
wrongly attached or missing
DESADV too late/missing
18
METRO AG 2005
NEXT Steps
Enhancement of suppliers and locations
Enhancement of RFID based processes (e.g. frontstore – backstore separation, RFID equipped forklifts, etc.)
Start with case level tagging
prerequisite for all further rollout activities is the availability of Gen 2 products
19
METRO AG 2005
Expected improvements of Gen 2 by end users
Worldwide standard Price decline for RFID labels Use the RFID advantages in global supply
chains Increasing investment safety
Better performance Longer read ranges Higher anti collission (about 600 Tags in a
sec.)

ISO 18000 and EPC Gen 2
On track toward ISO standard
ISO and EPC numbering system conflict resolved
One bit (bit 17 of PC bits) defines whether EPC or ISO (AFIs)
EPC UHF Gen 2 v 1.0.9 submitted to ISO SC 31/WG 4/SG 3 on January 25
Proposed as amendment to ISO 18000-6C
Should be an ISO standard in early 2006
